Running racism in America thread

Semantics is cute. Let's not play games.

Anyone who showed up that night deserved whatever happened that night.

 

That is not remotely how lawful society operates.

 

It's not up to you, me or Kyle Rittenhouse to decide who "deserves" what.

So the Capital Police should have mowed down every single rioter on Jan. 6?

 

To dixie: Society that night was not lawful.

To inky: Was "every single rioter" mowed down in Kenosha?

 

"Put yourself in that situation and you get what you deserve."

So would you be saying that if CP had killed a few thousand MAGAs on 1/6?

 

Your suppositions are non-sequiturs. Ashley Babbitt was shot and killed.

Does it matter if it was 1 or 317?

 

I'm just trying to understand your "the Kenosha victims got what they deserved for being there" mindset. How far does it extend? You have that attitude with two killed and one wounded by a teenage militia wannabe. Would you be saying that if CP and DCPD killed 100 Jan. 6 rioters? How about 1,000?

 

If we condemn Rosenbaum, et al. as chaos tourists and agitators, I'm not sure why we shouldn't do likewise for Rittenhouse.

 

Of course I'd condemn Rittenhouse.

Why is it so hard to agree with the statement that "you go into a shithouse then you better be prepared to get smeared with shit"?

That's basically where I stand. Ideally, nobody gets shot, killed, arm blown to smithereens.

 

Did Heather Heyer get what was coming to her?
